'94 EX 2.2L VTEC MT

Over the past couple of weeks my car has been nearly overheating on extended highway driving.I thought it was just because of the hot summer weather, but I found that my overflow bottle was empty and theradiator was a little low. I added about a quarter gallon of 50/50 mix to the system...

Yesterday after dirving on the highway I checked my overflow bottle and found it filled to the top and leaking from the cap of the overflow bottle. Checked the next morning andlevel was correct but I foundengine oil in the overflow bottle and in the radiator...

The funny thing is the vehicle has no performance issues aside from the higher than normal operating tempetures. This soundslike the classic symptoms of a blown head gasket to me, what do you guys think?

 

yep me too.. at least........you need to find out why car has been overheating , continous overheating caused the head gasket to go bad,, ,,fans work ok ?? t-stat opens on time ??
if you pull the head off yourself, make sure to have it milled at a maching shop and have it checked for cracks ,, actually while the head is out ,i would do a valve job as well..no better time to do it than now ...
I would also replace the t-stat and rad cap,

 

The easiest way to check would be to open the oil cap and pressure test the cooling system.
